Trouble scaling patterns in Illustrator - Transform Patterns is ticked

I often deal with patterns for work, and I haven't encountered any issues until now. I cannot scale/resize my patterns in Illustrator. I haven't touched my settings, so I may have used a key bind accidentally?

 

The following settings under the scale menu are ticked:

Scale Corners

Scale Strokes & Effects

Transform Objects

Transform Patterns

 

I haven't encountered any issues with my stroke scaling, so I am very confused. 😞

Hello everyone,

Our team has attempted to resolve this issue in the latest Illustrator 2026 v30 release. Would you mind installing the latest version of Illustrator to see if it helps resolve the problem?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

What System and which version of Illustrator do you use? I have seen it mentioned before, but cannot replicate it myself.
